Fast food restaurant McDonald’s will reopen today after being closed for two months for a ‘digital transformation’.

The Congleton branch has been shut to allow the work to take place with self-service kiosks and ‘click and collect’ app installed.

The restaurant, off the Clayton Bypass, is the final of franchisee’s Eddie Leligdowicz’s restaurants to be ‘digitally converted’.

Eddie, who employs 1,420 staff across the Cheshire, Staffordshire and Derbyshire, said: “I’m looking forward to being able to bring my new restaurant to Congleton and would like to thank our local customers for bearing with us while the transformation is taking place.

“I’m confident the new store will offer visitors to the restaurant more choice as to how to they order and am particularly excited to introduce the ‘click and collect’ app to my customers.”

Bosses say the self-service kiosks mean customers can pick their meals faster while there will also be table service.

Cheshire East Council has already approved plans from McDonald’s for an extra drive-thru lane.
